It isn’t very important if the juice you drink is orange, green, red, yellow or blue – it just needs to be colorful. Remember, not artificially neon colored, but it should have natural colors in order to be healthy.
Today we will present you the healthiness of red color. Guessing the ingredient? – Yes, it’s beet.
Here is a nutritive beet juice recipe:
In a juicer blend together:
– 1 organic beet
– 1 organic, peeled and pitted apple (choose your favorite taste)
– 1 organic, peeled lemon
– ½ – 1 inch peeled ginger root
– ½ of a large cucumber
– 3 leaves of organic kale (Lacianto or Dinosaur – because these types are much easily digested)
Don’t forget to wash all of the ingredients, although they are organic. It’s recommended to always scrub vegetables you use in order to remove the bacteria on its surface they may get during transport and touching.
When you prepare the juice, make sure that the ingredients you use are small enough (it depends on your juicer).
This juice is very nutritive. If you can’t consume the whole dose right away, until your body gets used to it, share it with a friend or family at the beginning.
Why beet is the best?
It’s one of the most nutritive ingredients you can find in the shops. They are perfect source of vitamins A and C, calcium, fiber and iron. With only 100 g of beet, you can supply your body with 43 calories, 3 g of fiber, 2 g of protein, 10 carbohydrates and 0 g of fat. So, never judge a book by its cover!
The iron contained in beet can help you fight anemia and the high fiber content will help you to circumvent constipation. Beets also contain high amount of antioxidant enzymes that can increase not only your digestion, but all the functions of the body too.
You can serve beet simply in a salad, with stir-fried food, or cook it with rice, noodles…you can consume it raw (sprinkled with lemon and chile), pickled, roasted with cheese or as a dessert.
